What I find astonishing is the use of the term "Safe Space" - clearly in an attempt to mock Scott Alexander, for -- I guess -- not being "manly" enough. It's really quite funny, in a I-want-to-cry kind of way, that a term invented to protect "sissies" (I count myself among them!) is being used to mock people for their lack of masculinity. Its cynical deployment, here, actually serves to reinforce the very macho stereotypes the term was invented to combat. And all this from a supposed standard bearer of liberal orthodoxy. Metz' cretinitude is surpassed only by his nastiness and shamelessness.
